Central Steppe and Ulaanbaatar

Capital at 1,350m elevation, active Gandan monastery, Terelj park at 1h30 and Przewalski horses at Hustai: the pivot of every Mongolian journey.

Mongolian Altai

At the far western edge of the country, a glaciated mountain range at 4,374 m populated by Muslim Kazakhs, where 250 families still hunt with golden eagles.

Uvur Khoridol

Khövsgöl Lake

At Siberia's threshold, 136 km of pure water ringed by larch forests, realm of the Tsaatan reindeer herders and a wooded counterpoint to Mongolia's southern steppes.

Vallée de Baishintiin

Orkhon Valley

Cradle of the Mongol Empire and heartland of horse breeding, the Orkhon Valley layers 1,200 years of nomadic history across Karakorum, monasteries and basalt gorges.

Gobi Desert

A semi-arid steppe rather than a sea of sand, the Mongolian Gobi blends 300-meter dunes, dinosaur cliffs, an icy canyon and families of cashmere goat herders.
